The Works, a discount chain offering books, stationery, and crafting goods, is opening a new store in Preston.
Preston is set to welcome a new shop next month, as The Works prepares to open its latest store.
The discount chain - known for offering affordable books, stationery, crafting goods and more - already operates one store in St George's Shopping Centre.
Now, the brand is getting ready to join the likes of Superdrug, Card Factory and M&S at Deepdale Shopping Park, on Blackpool Road.
